Title says it all. A progressive full range warm up for tenor range singers. Starts easy enough with some gentle descending scales, quickly moves on to smooth and somewhat faster arpeggio/scale combos. Finishes up with some lip trill, range development exercises and pure vowel exercises in the upper register.
Enjoy!
My ADHD makes it near impossible to focus on vocal exercises, but for some reason this video holds my focus long enough for me to get through them. This man may or may not be a wizard, and I am 100% fine with it.
I love it! Thank you so much for watching and I'm so glad you can get a vocal workout with it!
As for being a wizard, I can neither confirm nor deny such suspicions.

Jeff
Same! I recommend Jeff’s videos to everyone looking for vocal warm ups. I love that he doesn’t just say do this and moves on, he plays while you do it! Actually, that’s why I’m on the tenor video right now, doing it for a friend lol
Same. We need more musicians like Jeff who have honed their craft and still remain passionate enough to educate others. It’s a beautiful thing to just learn more about something we love instead of being scared away from it like many of us were. My piano teacher used to smack my fingers with a ruler every mistake, I was fucking terrified of something I loved. Still at 40 years old, every time I open a piano i’m reminded of Ms Beatrice & her bold choice to embrace chin hairs & smacking, over empathy & education. I’d love to know what her motivation was to teach kids because the woman loathed my knuckles and fingers ✌🏻rip babe
I’m glad the world has more Jeff‘s now. Thanks Jeff!

There is no ADHD. Like many others, just a made-up disorder.

I use this video to warm up before every singing lesson. Bonus: Jeff is just so darn likable and sophisticated and downright charming. "Hello, tenors!" Well, hello to you, sir!
Why hello! Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate that so much! I must admit, I was already smiling, but this broadened it significantly! Thank you for watching and enjoy the channel!

As a female with a deep singing voice, (true contralto) this is absolutely perfect and warms my voice to honey! Thank you! 🥰

I can’t thank you enough for this, I’m really struggling with my transition from alto to tenor, I just started testosterone a few months ago and this is helping me figure out my new range and not stress my throat so much.
same, i started march 2021 and this is still helpful
Congratulations! I hope your voice is everything you wanted it to be.

I use this pretty much every day! Thank you for this.
Thanks for watching!

You still still using it? 👀

2 things.
1st. Jeff I use this video constantly. Thanks again!
2nd. A fun game is to ask yourself a yes or no question, then pause the video at any random point. Whatever expression is on Jeff's face is the answer.
1. You're welcome! 2. Fun game! I'll have to be careful; in some of the newer videos with the cold weather my hands are struggling with some of the patterns and I make some really unfortunate facial expressions!
Thanks for watching! Enjoy!

I tried the silly game and had some surprising results
By the way Jeff excellent warm up

6 years later and this is still the best warm up for me by a country mile. I can’t thank you enough, Jeff!
this is the first warm up i’ve done since learning i’m a tenor! for years i’ve been doing warm ups not intended for me and i’ve never felt more comfortable
The best vocal warm up on UA-cam .

I am a woman who is in this range and getting back into singing. This is a nice comfortable vocal warmup. I will be doing this daily! Thank you so much.

I hurt my voice singing improperly a few months back. I've had to cancel engagements because my voice just hasn't been where I feel it usually is. I've been using these warm-ups and my voice just feels like it's getting stronger and I am more in control of it. Thank you Jeff, I feel like I am getting my instrument back and treating it better this go round.
Awesome! Keep it up! Get better!

I was hit by a car as a pedestrian about one month ago (broke 16 bones and came very close to death). The hospital had a tracheal tube down my throat, which I ripped out when I woke up from my medically induced coma. They said it was likely I could have voice damage. Your videos have helped already to help me regain what I had before. Thank you so much, Jeff.
My goodness, I'm so sorry to hear that that happened to you! I wish you all the best of luck in your continued recovery.
Jeff
Still warmin up with this video in 2019!!
Many people liked this particular series of warm ups! Thank you for watching! Enjoy!!!
Jeff
@@JeffRolka probably because it's efficient :)
2 years into this exercise and the high range tenor warmup and my voice changed dramatically for the better. Thanks Jeff
I always struggle because I, a female, have a low alto/high tenor range and never manage to quite fit into one or the other when looking for warmups. This perfectly hit my tenor range, dipping into alto without stretching my chest voice at all. Great for my daily warmups, and some of your other videos work well if I'm looking to warm up and stretch my alto/high chest voice range. Thanks so much for this!!
Bros female doyen
i remember watching this when i was younger and wishing this was my natural vocal range. 1 year on testosterone later, i’m relearning my voice and your videos help me so much!
I really like your warmup. I'm not a tenor, but I'm a contralto. This is more comfortable than the warmups for women that I've found online.
I’m a trans guy and went on testosterone about 2.5 years ago and my voice deepened to a tenor range, and these exercises have been helpful for my changing voice!
You can be delivered from that
Last March I was supposed to open as a lead in my high school production of footloose but then it got cancelled due to covid a week before opening night. My vocal instructor also left the state to go to grad school, so I felt kind of alone. I havent sung since then, but I’m trying to clean myself up as much as I can before i start applying for college auditions. I honestly don’t know where I’ll end up but I wanted to thank you ahead of time for at least giving me a fighting chance to get my act together
These were the best vocal exercises I've done. They didn't hurt for once
I’m the lead in a summer production at an amusement park and have to sing every night. This has been sooooo helpful every night. So thankful I found you!
Awesome! I myself did two summers at Cedar Park in Ohio! Where are you working? Thank you for watching!
Jeff
Jeff Rolka Canobie Lake Park in Salem, NH. I looove Cedar Point. Thank you for helping me sound my best!
I've been using this video for the past couple years, and as a Baritone/Tenor mix, this DEFINITELY HELPED MY HIGHER REGISTER! Thank you so much :)
I love watching the view count crank up and realising most of them are mine
Yeah baby! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Best,
Jeff
I studied bel canto for many years and although it’s been a long time, it’s like my voice never skipped a beat! This really took me back to all those years of singing scales and concentrating on clear, bright vowels. Reminded me that my trained voice is still back there!
Wonderful to hear! Enjoy the channel and enjoy singing!

I can’t thank you enough for your videos, Jeff! After barely singing at all during the pandemic, I finally took the courage to audition for my local cathedral choir. You exercises brought my voice back, and I just got word that I made the choir! THANK YOU!
Wonderful! Glad that the videos served you well!
Jeff
Mr. Rolka. This video has become my every day warm up. Not only for singing, but for centering myself. Thank you for sharing your content.
im a trans guy considering switching to the mens choir. This really gave me confidence i belong as a tenor. Thank you !
I use this warmup alot- started T 4 months ago. It works a lot!
-james
y does it matter if ur trans?
@@ryanpopp6067 not trans and a singing noob here but i imagine social anxiety,, refining tone if you're medically altering your voice as well as having voice training as part of gender therapy, and whether or not your prima voce now lies in the range of a tenor after taking T are concerns some trans men singers might have
@@ayembic7933 I have social anxiety and im bi but I dont go around saying it

Hey Jeff, do you have anything that has all the notes in the tenor range? Also something that spends prolonged time on the high/highest notes, as opposed to ascending to them and just coming down without staying. Not sure if I said this right, don't know any technical names. In a nutshell, if I want to a) practice all the notes and b) give the highest range in my voice a tight, tough work out what to do? Great channel, subbed and liked.
Hey there, thanks for getting in touch! Thanks for watching and subb'ing as well!
There's quite a bit on the channel, maybe try a couple of these:

Start with those and let me know how it goes.

Jeff Rolka You are so cool. Thanks so much.
@@dazanom Jeff Rolka👍
HOLY CRAP?!?! This helped me be better at moving into higher notes in my chest voice without having to switch to my head voice! I’m gonna try to sing after this and see how it goes!
I’m a baritone, but had the role of Judas for the last couple months. This warmup helped me tons. Thanks Jeff!
Best warmup I've been able to find for before shows :)
Thank you so much! So glad that it's useful!!!
All the best!
Jeff
After working with this lesson for about a month the first and most powerful improvement I noticed was added strength and ease of singing in my upper chest voice. I have more confidence in my head voice and and the transition is getting smoother. I've added Jeff's Daily Vocal Workout to my lesson plan. I'm gonna keep at it Thanks Jeff
Awesome! Keep it up! The new tenor video (coming out tomorrow, Jan. 15, 2022) has loads of work in the upper chest voice area! Should compliment this warm up nicely!

Sounds odd but one of the reasons why I love this channel so much is the sound of this piano. It sounds amazing! All other channels have these digital pianos. This one is inspiring to sing to.
Thank you so much for that. I try really hard to mic it up nicely, and it's good to hear that that is coming through.
Idk why i chose to do this so late in the night
Omg same its 11pm now
I am so happy to see this video crossed 1million views. helped me soo much! Thank you Jeff!!!
It did indeed! Very exciting!

Help! I'm having a glottal attack!
So I'm a bari-tenor and im tryna practice my tenor range and this video helps a lot thanks again
Shout out to @9:52 when I fluffed it a bit and you give the camera a look like, WTF mate? Seriously though, I check out a lot of the vocal teachers and try their exercises on here, and you have definitely been the clearest and most useful.
Awesome! Little semi-side eye there!
Sorry it took me so long to respond too! I saw your comment and then I lost it. For some reason UA-cam filtered it but I found it again!
Thank you for your kind words! I do my best! Thanks for watching and enjoy the channel!

Lol bro I've been using this as my everyday warm up for like a few months. appreciate u Jeff
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Jeff
Thank you so much for these relaxing exercises. I am training myself to be a leggerio tenor. I can sing trills and florid passages decently and my upper register is rich and powerful but anything below the A3 is weak and breathy and I always run out of stamina after fifteen minutes. I will be sure to listen to your tutorials more often.
Still warming up with this till this day!
I've been using this exact same warmup with my band for the last year and a half. YOU RULE, JEFF! Totally recommend!
Thank you so much! Thank your band mates on my behalf too!
All the best!
Jeff
You know a good teacher because they know when the student will feel unsure and know when to make eye contact to reassure them ha ha this video took me back to music lessons as a kid. Bless ❤
Such a soothing warm up, Jeff. I find many vocal eases to be acrobatic and I lose the ability to stay on my breath but this is one of my favorites and as long as I don't push it really works very well for me. Thanks
If you like this, and enjoy more soothing warm ups, consider trying some of my 'gentle' warm ups!

you have a calming presence. it helps for relaxing my voice
I've been singing with a vocal coach for nearly 2 years. I'd never attempted to learn properly before. I thought I'd look for other warm ups and I wasn't disappointed. Thank You.
I used to take private lessons as a teenager and this is my first day and video of attempting warm-ups after not having done any warm-ups in 25 years. I'm sad to discover how much I've lost but I will be viewing this and other vids by Jeff to try to bring my voice back to where it used to be! I will not be defeated! 😁
Thanks for trying out the video! Welcome back to singing! Keep me up to date on your re-entry! You'll find that there's lots to choose from here and I'm quite responsive!
Best,
Jeff
This is not only a fantastic warm up but it also helped me realize I had been singing a bit flat since I was a kid!! I've shared this with friends and family. You're helping a lot of people with these videos unquestionably. I'll never be some great singer but you've helped me to improve a lot. I want to thank you very, very much!
Thank you very much for your kind words! I made the channel in the hopes that folks would be able to use their voices a bit better and enjoy singing that much more for it! Glad to hear that the exercises are serving you in that capacity. Enjoy! Thank you for watching!

I was in show choir in high school and since covid-19 pins I haven't really been taking care of my voice but I'm glad that they're wonderful people like him on this app so I'm able to keep my voice nice and perky
Found Jeff's videos recently, he is a very knowledgeable and positive instructor, good stuff!

Warm Up - 0:48
when you can't find an alto warm up video that goes low enough :P
I have a male version of your problem... i can't find a high exercise that goes beyond the high C, and i can reach E in chest voice.
Are you like Leggero tenor?
Don't know for sure, i can sing things a countertenor does in full voice, usually i train myself with some women music, another male that could easily reach those notes when he was young is Andre Matos, from Angra, listen to Stand away, reaching horizons, Nothing to say and Carry on and you'll get it :).
Just what I thought! ;-) Have been looking for contralto-warm ups! ;-)
Same problem I have! Its nice to have this video that actually goes low enough for me! I sing in two different choirs and one I sing with the Tenors and the other I sing alto and soprano 2. So this is a nice comfortable range for me when its tenor night 😉
Seriously this vocal warm up video has been the best for me too I swear
Hey man I started doing this everyday. I have been doing it for 2 weeks now. My voice has already improved so much. Subscribed and liked.
Brilliant! Thank you for watching and keep up the great work!!
Jeff
Jeff's warm-ups are useful and he looks like Chest Rockwell, which adds extra fun to using his videos.
Especially upside down in the reflection.
Your methodology is amazing. Makes it easy and fun to learn and practice. I watch your videos every day and thank you so much for being such a vocal coach committed to the art of music. Greetings from Brazil.
I love this one: It gets right to the edge of my upper register without going into falsetto!
Thanks Jeff this has helped me improve to the point were I've been going back in my up and coming album and re-doing vocal tracks.
Gosh I haven't done this in DECADES. My choir teacher would be proud. Love you Miss Robb
Your teacher would not be proud you lazy sack of shi
This is very helpful Jeff. Thank you. My voice is a Baritone and I am a band director, however I love to sing. I have been looking for some simple things to start training my pitch better and this is perfect. It also gives me some different things to think about.
Thank you for sharing.
I'm a trans masculine person who has been a singer since I was a kid. I was always put with the sopranos despite having a naturally deep voice. Now that I have the command over my voice and can explore it myself, I find this video is EXACTLY the warm up range I need, thank you so much for putting out videos like this
That was excellent, this is my warm up video for now.

Jeff, I want to take the time to thank you. I’ve been singing for 20 years, mostly heavy stuff, and never took any singing classes. I’ve always been struggling with a few precise things, although I’ve developed tricks to hide them and managed to have a rewarding career.
I’ve been trying for a long time to understand my flaws and learn techniques from coaches who were closer to my type of powerful voice and style, without much success. Then I found your exercices for tenors and everything fell into place. Every gig has been a breeze since then. You have changed the way I sing forever! From Montréal, merci beaucoup!
Thank you so much for sharing this with me! I am so happy to hear that the videos have helped so much! Keep enjoying the channel and great work with your singing!
All the best!

You have the moves so nicely
This has become my favorite vocal warm up ever. I use it pretty much everyday, this and the falsetto one. Thank u Jeff, you're absolutely fabulous.

Thank you Jeff for this awesome alto warm up exercise. I just started in my church choir and this will help me with singing in the church. If you can't find your alto range, just play around with it till you find what is comfortable for you and stick to that if that helps. I am no expert but seen some comments is all. Thanks Jeff, you remind me of my choir teacher so many years ago i worked with at Indiana State University in Indiana USA. Awesome vocal techniques.
This is so helpful and helped me a lot during college auditions! Recommend!!!
This is helping me so much with smoothing my pasagio out.
Jill Johnson Mann it varies from person to person, mine is around E4-F#4. Yours may or may not be there. It’s where your voice starts to crack and such, and a good exercise that I do to help smooth it out is use “Gee” on on a 5 note major scale, starting at C3 and moving up by semitones. It takes a LONG time to work it, you have to do it very often. But you will get there. (PS I’m a tenor, if you’re a baritone start lower than a C3, bass starts even lower)
Passaaaggggiiiooooo
Smooth my dik
I use this almost everyday with the singing over the break warmup video for 1/2 hour hard rock warm up before going onstage. Works like a charm ✨
My voice will naturally go to the notes without force. I think that's what these exercises are designed to help people achieve. Natural resonance with the tone. It's all in my pallet with these frequencies. I see where this can be very helpful. It's very weird when you have natural resonance cause you feel that each note is in a uber close position on your top pallet.
You have it exactly right.
Best,
Jeff
@@JeffRolka Should your hand be moving by itself when you feel the music? I don't think this is normal. I know this sounds absolutely crazy.
You have such a calm speaking voice, i wish my mornings started with on of your "and"s lol
Reminds me of high school as a beginner musician taking lessons. Thx for the warm up!
When you don’t know what you are because you fit into all male voice types
Jeff, I've been using this warmup and a bunch of your other videos for about a year now, and I can't thank you enough. I'm not a great singer, but I've made a ton of progress, and your videos have been more than instrumental in my growth as a singer. Thanks, man
